Summary: A Man In A Kids Body
Review: In Soldier's Heart Gary Paulson tells the story of Charley Goddard a boy that lies about his age and signs up for the first Minnesota volunteers. Although he does not know that he has signed up for a shooting war, he wants to get away from his home life. Through Bull Run and Gettysburg he deals with death,diseases and homesick. He makes it through the war his mind is still there. I think this book is good read for all kids that enjoy action and war books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A boy in a man's world
Review: When you read Gary Paulsen's novel Soldier's Heart, you can wonder what he was thinking. When he didn't create a sequel to it. Charley Goddard was only fifteen when he enlisted with the First Minnesota Volunteers, but when he came out of the war he was only nineteen, but something was different about him, his heart has changed, people would say that he had Soldier's Heart. Overall I would tell any student who was looking for a decent novel that they should definately read this book. Because it may be short, but anyone will love it.

Review: SOLDIER'S HEART
Soldier's Heart is about a kid named Charley he was 15 years old .He went to Fort Summter and signed up. He was in the Civil War.
I think Gary Paulsen is trying to show us that war is all about and to teach us war is not cool or fun.
I liked the whole book but my favorite parts were when two bullets headed for his head but they hit each other and fell. I also liked when a canon ball went though a horse and it did flips. I liked the end because it's peaceful. If you want to find out what happens red it you will love it.

Review: SOILDER`S HEART
Solders heart was very descriptive book I felt that I was really there when I read it. And I think he was only 15 when he joined the army. In the book at the second day of the civil war he drank from a river which had a dead guy up stream. When he left his hometown to join the war he wanted to be a man and when he got to the war he did not like it very much.
And when the first day of the civil war he hated it was called bullrun. And I thought what the y did for warmth was very nasty the y stacked up dead corps they made a wall of over 5000 men dead men .They thought there dead they wont feel it .I think you should read these cool book
The man who made this book was Gary Paulsen he made a very cool book if you read it you can see physical images of what you read in your head. If you love war books this is the war book for you so come get it at any library in town. So it also includes the war of gettesburg I really enjoyed this book allot so will you. And if you want to know if charly goes through the war alive he just might die I love this book try it...

Summary: Heart of a soldier
Review: Soldier's Heart

Soldier's Heart is a very good book, but grousum. Charlie Goddard, a fifteen-year-old joins the army because he thinks it will make him a man. He lies about his age because he thinks he can handle it, but he is wrong he can't handle it.
Gary Paulsen is a very popular writer. He does a great job on the description because it makes you feel like you are actually in the war. If you like to read war books then this is the book for you. Anyone who thinks war is a something to blow off then you are definitely wrong. If you have already read this book then you can read it again.
To me this book is really exciting because it makes you feel like you are there in the war fighting because the description is unreal. It makes you visualize all of the people suffering and dying. The question is will Charlie Goddard die or live? If you want to find out then read it.

Review: SOLDIER'S HEART
Soldier's Heart is about a boy named Charley Goddard who is 15 years old. When you are 18.years old can join the war. But he tells them he is 18 but he really is 15. He didn't think war could be this bad but he saw his friends lying on the ground dead or wounded. Towards the end he realizes war is very gruesome
I think the main theme in the book is don't do something your going to regret. And war is more grossed than you think.
What I like in this book are the different things to war. Today we shoot at each other in war but we don't stand in the middle of a field and let people shoot right at us. Back then we had muskets. Now we have machine guns. Could you imagine pounding musket balls into a gun rather than holding in a trigger and shooting? Anyway the end of the story sounded nice he sat and ate and listened to the water. And And..............................!

Summary: Soldiers heart
Review: "SOLDIERS HEART"
"Soldiers heart" is a great book because it is about a 15-year-old boy Charley and he wants to go to war because he wants to be a man. But he is15 years old and to be in war you have 16 years old and up. How does he really go to war?"
"I think Gary Paulsen the author wants the readers to get the idea about war and how dirty and gross war is because he explains the details all through the book."
"I like the book because I like these kinds of books. And he made all the characters seem real in the book. Plus it is a good way of getting the taste of war. Go to your local library or to your school library."

Summary: Soldier's Heart Jake
Review: Soldier's Heart is about a boy named Charley who wanted to show that he was a man at the age of fifteen . He thought he could show it by going to war. He wasn't old enough so he said he was 18 and the generals believed him they believed him! When Charley got to the battlefield it wasn't even close to what he had imagined.

I think they were trying to say that war is not a pretty thing and that when some people come from war they get soldier's heart. They are trying to say that war is a lot different than what it is like now.

I liked the book because it really showed what war is like and it is based on a real story. I also liked it because it tolled what really happens in war to people and why war is not a nice thing to be in. The author gave a good taste of what the Civil War was like. What happens at the end of the story? Does he win? Will you find out what soldier's Heart is? Read the book and find out!

Summary: Cody Starr's Soldier's Heart book
Review: Soldier's Heart
Soldier's Heart is about a boy named Charley who is only 15 years old and he goes to war and becomes a soldier in the Civil War. In the middle of the story a guy named Nelson got a Belly wound and Charley wants to help, but a Lutenet soldier tells him to leave Nelson behind. Charley gave Nelson his container of water to help him. At the end of the story Charley dies. Before he dies he thinks about his own life, and then he passes away.

I think Gary Paulsen wanted to show his readers what a soldiers heart is really like, how hard a real soldier works, especially to show you the real meaning of being in a real war, and how bad it is to be in a war. Gary is trying and doing a good job to convince the reader to learn about a real war and a real soldier's heart.

My favorite part is when Charley tries to help out Nelson's Belly wound because Gary is just showing that Charley cares about his friends. I also liked the way Gray tried to convince the readers to help out others unless you know they will die soon. Then just let them be. So far what do you think it is like just from me telling you about it? Would you like to read it? I think you should because it is a really good story, and I think you should read it because it tells and shows you that War isn't really funny. It might be to you, but when you read Soldier's Heart you will notice it isn't funny at all it is serious and sad. By, Cody
